20 grand for that tracker is insane. That'll get you one heck of a boat on marketplace
For sure! You could get a nice boat with trailer, an older S10 or Ranger pickup to pull it, fully outfit it and still have money left to buy the wife something nice. When I saw it was $20k I laughed. Granted that Merc 50 ELPT is about $8k...
I picked up a 1970s monark 15.5 ft. Flat bottom for $400. Found a 28hp Johnson spl for $600. A couple hundred in carpet wood,ECT.. Built a casting deck.Set it up with a side counsel, new seats, rod holders green interior lights.
Under $1400 ,put together a nice little bass boat . It'll do about 25mph with 2 adults,and 2 kids.
I can't afford a $20,000 tracker,but the kids don't know the difference.
Like I was once told, being poor isnt the problem. It's being satisfied. If you want cool stuff,and don't have a lot of money. Get old stuff,and make it cool
"building better boats yeah we're building boats yeah" Neebs Gaming ❤
That's incredible. I wish I had the knowledge and resources to do this. Very impressive
thanks for watching!
Wow, man. That opening monolog. You're a good writer.
Great work! Ya'll are killing it!
Keep this coming! I love the old school videos like how you started. Happy new year Mike 😂
Impressive build! Thanks for sharing the video
No prob!
That’s the boat build I’ve been waiting for. I wish I had that boat. I would buy that boat if someone sold them. There’s nothing like it on the market
I got reaaaally lucky and grabbed a 99 bass tracker for only 2500 bucks. Ripped up carpet and a bit of motor work was all. Completely restored it. Great boat now.
Like these boat creations Mike!! Keep it up bro!!
This is just what I needed getting ready to tackle an 16’ alumacraft and I’m definitely going to be ordering from your website…thank you so much for the starting this channel it’s loaded with usefulness information 🤘🏽 hope to get out on the water with you when it’s all done 🤘🏽.
Glad I could help
Awesome video! Thank you for making it!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome video Mike,the boat came out super Dope, and done right ❤
Awesome thank you!
AWESOME JOB!!
Fantastic build, man!
Thanks a bunch!
Great build! Love your channel i have learned a great deal. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
My pleasure always look forward to seeing your videos. @TinyBoatNation
i have a rhyan craft jon boat i got it because of this channel. i cant wait to get it going! wish me luck.
I bought that same Tracker Classic XL brand new '22 for $14999. The trailer and 50hp is the difference on this e$timate cost to build. Its an outstanding boat, I loved everything about it especially the trailer. Its a deal in this day and age, Compared to how much everything else in its class costs. Only reason I sold it is to pay my truck off to be debt free, giving me time to work on boat projects. Nice looking project boat here though, I love 16 SC Jon Boats.
Just got my first 1648 upgraded from 1436. Love this channel!!!
Thanks for being a member here!
What a great project!
Mike your a legend love looking at your boat builds🎣👍
Gunna need you to post more lol iv been waiting forever lol great video I know its tough to keep content coming I struggle as well
Spring is coming, don’t worry
Good job
Man..and it'll last a lifetime!
I used Garmin fusion stereo with either the shallow speakers or the surface mount 402 with spacer. Pair that with the NEMA and you can control it from any graph or through the phone app.
would really love to see a build with the new 1436 tracker grizzly
I also have the PQ mini and another 100ah Lithium battery. The size difference is crazy and the cost was only about $30.
I volunteer for my 78 duracraft bass champ to be restored 😅
$7800 is crazy for the amount of work. You can get a hella boat of market place for that
You should try Totalboats aluminum boat paint. I rolled it on and it flattened out so well it looks like it was sprayed
Do you have a link?
Total Boat is great stuff. I used their 2 part epoxy paint for the bottom half of the hull of an Alumacraft. It sealed up all rivets and seams.
Parkers is really great as well
They should make a catfish version for the boats
Fill the wine bottle with cold ice water to cool it faster
Smart!
Is there a world where flipping old Jo boats like this would be profitable? Or is it like not other boat stuff where it’s only this valuable to you because you know all the parts are new
i have watched your program every sense you started out love all your videos great job do you give vetran discounts for items . i just got a 16 foot blue fin and gutted it and about to start another build . thanks
I want to get a boat.... I'm really thinking about going this route though...was going to get a kayak but for the price of 2 kayaks I can have this
Sounds like a good deal
Love this build. I am going to attempt something similar in my v hull. Could the steering and throttle cables be routed through the wiring conduit as well? Or was there no other way than to mount it to the side like you did? Thanks!
The steering cable is really stiff. You could run hydraulic lines through consuits
Where do you get the clear template material
how does the water travel under the foam to get to pumps? are there tubes under foam?
The floor is hollow and the deck is sealed
Where is this boat available for rent?
I have a 2002 Cresliner 1648 Modified V that I want to turn into a stick steer crappie setup like a bass tracker panfish 16. Do you have any plans to build a crappie stick steer boat? Any advise on the angles for the rod boxes on the side bending to get them in parallel with the rest of the angles? I saw you posted to use 1/16" angle and add to it. Could that stand up to a 260 lb person standing on them? Would they also help with flex on the sides of the boat?
I do not, unless one day it comes up
Can you provide a link to the foam flooring that you used? Also, a different question, what wire brand and size, consumable tip, and amps are you using for welding on the boat?
Do you have to add the foam?
Yes, unless there was some already in there and you can reuse it
I’ve got a 1542 tracker with a small hold in one of the bench seats, I want to put some insulation in it to make it a cooler, anybody have recommendations for that?
Pour foam
Someone please tell me where I can buy those transom supports @ the 00:10 mark. I can't find them anywhere and Google wants to sell me a transom saver.
You’ll have to get them specially made for your boat if you don’t have one already
All in, what was the final tally?
Tally? It was a little over 10k because I had to buy a new outboard, but still weigh under 20
@@TinyBoatNation I enjoyed the build, and 10k isn't too shabby either! Thank you for the reply.
Cabela’s where I live in Louisville Kentucky it is a green utility 1754 with a 50 hp motor on it I don’t think it had a trolling motor but it might I don’t know they was asking $23,000 almost $24,000 for it
Yep, that’s the new norm
Why did you say to not use a Lithium Ion battery for starting? I have been doing it for 3 years now on a Suzuki DF25A with no issue. Just curious if you know something I don't. Thanks for the great videos by the way!
Well, if it works, then keep doing it but generally it burns out the stater or the battery goes bad
Just like you building the boat cheaper, we can build everything you are selling on your website cheaper. ;)
No, you can’t
it's all insanity . . . and i'm 6'7" 325lbs. . . i'm hunt'n a 20' for just me. . . i'll step to a larger hull type when i wanna bring people with me :) but i do not have even $5k for that crazy. . . real DIY pennies and nickles and time to get it done >< at least you guys make it a bit easier having trounced through all this space and sharing. . . sucks being old, slow, stoned. . . broke and broken makes doin stuff sketchy, can't afford to do anything really but have to build it safe and capable of handle'n a large dude that can not afford to be in a rescue situation, i'm too freak'n big to try and save >< you guys ever get a big ole boat and a whole lot of charity i'd giggle for weeks see'n you build an "ogre built tiny boat" :)
